Heated Debate Opens on Labor Bill
The House opened stormy discussion on an administration plan to repeal Taft Hartley. Rep. Lesinski argues the current law was passed in haste, while Rep. McConnell contends the bill would empower Communist influence in unions and weaken national emergency strike tools. The chamber seats were packed as Speaker Rayburn urged decorum and a Friday vote timeline. The fight centers on restoring Wagner act provisions versus retaining Taft Hartley safeguards.

Bonner seeks liquor stores closed amid injunction
Governor Bonner asked that all Montana liquor stores close for an indefinite period starting Sunday. The move followed a district court injunction ordering the liquor control board to keep bottled goods prices at current levels while a separate six percent excise tax, approved by the Legislature, was to take effect. The suit, brought by Irving Leiden of Butte, claims the tax violates the state constitution and improperly creates a tax collector of an administrative agency. The court set May 6 to hear why the injunction should not be made permanent.
